The Office of the Vice-President (Research) is hosting a virtual information session regarding the President’s Award for Outstanding Research (PAOR) and University Research Professor (URP), which have been presented annually since 1984.

Those interested in applying for the awards, or who are in a position to encourage researchers to apply, are invited to the session, which will be hosted by Dr. Paul Banahene Adjei, interim associate vice-president (Indigenous research).

The session will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at noon.

Please email for the log-in instructions.

The terms of reference and conditions for the awards have recently changed.

The updated guidelines for the PAOR are available here and updated guidelines for URP are available here.

Completed nomination packages for both awards must be submitted electronically to the vice-president (research) by 5 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Please contact your unit’s grants facilitator (or, if the unit has no grants facilitator, the person with signing authority for your unit) to confirm if there are earlier, internal deadlines. These internal deadlines must be factored into the timing of the development and submission of these awards.
